Fashion for New Years with Lyst

I know we have not even had Christmas yet but I am rather excited about New Years as last year I was heavily pregnant and struggling a bit with finding stylish and fun clothes in the 3rd trimester but that's not the case this year. We don't have anything planned as of yet but that doesn't matter, whether we just pop down to the pub at the end of our road for a drink, invite friends over or even just make a special meal and movie at home I still intend to get dressed up to celebrate the start of another year. I have been asked to put together a little fashion wishlist of my favourite Night Time and Day time looks with the help of Lyst - a really easy to use and smart shopping website that allows you to follow the brands and designers you love and add them to your lysts and creates a personal shopper experience.  I instantly fell in love with baby blue Needle and Thread skirt and Stella McCarthy shoes and built the outfit around that with a fun and edgy theme ......

Street Style Sunday Link-up

So I am very excited to be co-hosting the lovely Street Style Sunday linky with the lovely Style Me Sunday blog, I was lucky enough to meet the lovely ladies who run the blog last year at The Mads Awards and I am constantly inspired but their amazing fashionable picks for ladies and kids so I was really over the moon to be invited to co-host with them this weekend. The link-up was perfectly timed for me as this week I picked up this lovely little maroon skirt in a sale in H&M (total bargain) and it's a great little transitional piece as we go from spring into summer. I have paired it up with my little scotty dog jumper from M&S, boots from TopShop and a Paul Costelloe bag and as well as my very old and well-travelled necklace my mother gave to me a few years back. The great thing about the link is you can link up what your children have been rocking, for Mr A this week it's been all about being a dinosaur - I say why not Get involved and link ......

Moving on up

I am really impressed with Marks and Spencer lately, I feel they are finally starting to shed the imagine of being a store mainly for people of a more mature age and starting to really hit the high street as a shop that provides on-trend season favourites for all ages. I am in love with this stylish and chic pink coat, as well as the red clutch. I am really looking for a statement coat this winter and for £85 it's actually in my price range. Please note this is NOT a sponsored post, simply sharing the love They also have updated there accessories range and I love these cute little bee earrings and Per Una twist multi-strand necklace, very chic and would be perfect for adding that little extra dimension to an outfit and once again very reasonably priced Bee earrings only £7.50 Per Una twist multi-strand necklace £17.50 I recently did an outfit post pairing a Ralph Lauren bandana skirt with a M&S fair-trade t-shirt, as I find there everyday wear such as t-......

Stripes and a Dungaree skirt

Laura wears - Fred Perry dungaree skirt, Nine West top, Doc Marten shoes So when we were in London recently I managed to have a quick look at the Fred Perry store in Covent Garden and saw this cute little dungaree skirt on sale, I love the workman style feel and look of it and it made of a thick and durable cotton, perfect for both spring, summer and autumn. I also like how the waist is tailored in and gives it shape. I have paired it up with a t-shirt from Nine West and Doc Marten shoes. I know I am going to have fun with this little dungaree skirt and I can experiment with different colours of t-shirts and shirts as well as layer with knits when the weather becomes a bit cooler. Both John and I have also been invited to be apart of the #Voicesofstyle on Oogly.com which is a new fashion/outfit sharing site and a lot of fun to use. I have joined in with What I wore Wednesday  linky ...
